The transition from “father” who had to protect Clementine, to actually being Clementine and looking after herself (myself?) is part of the reason why I think I didn’t enjoy this game as much.
During The Walking Dead, I had come to care about Clementine so much and even felt as some sort of father to the fictional character (it’s scary how good Telltale’s writing is). While it sounded great in theory, I actually didn’t enjoy playing as Clementine that much. I left that game not only mourning dead characters, but also really caring about the ones who lived, which is why I was so excited to hear that I would be playing as Clementine in The Walking Dead: Season 2.
When I heard that Telltale Games’ was making a sequel to The Walking Dead, I was absolutely ecstatic! The Walking Dead is my highest rated reviewed game since I started here at Nerd Bacon, and it even made it onto my Top 10 Video Games list! One of the things I greatly praised in my review of The Walking Dead was the fact that your choices mattered, and that is was one of the only games to ever affect me on an emotional level in the way that it did.
